6 Spring Wedding Dress Trends to Make the Most of Your Special Day

“Naked” dresses were a top trend all fashion month long. Wedding gowns are traditionally modest, but these dresses aren’t for the traditional bride. Sheer layers of lace and tulle are equal parts sexy and romantic.

If you can recall the mini dress Kourtney Kardashian wore in Portofino, short wedding dresses are having their moment. The uncomplicated, youthful flare of a short hemline is perfect for warm-weather ceremonies. If you’re looking to get more additional wear out of your wedding dress, a mini works for both the ceremony and reception.

One-shoulder gowns have been a long-standing bridal favorite for good reason. For starters, the one-shoulder neckline is timelessly chic. The style is also a flattering way to add visual interest to a classic silhouette. Easily simplified or embellished, you can’t go wrong with this elegant style.

Ball gowns have become synonymous with the fantasy wedding. Who wouldn’t want to feel like a princess on their big day? Despite the style being fairly traditional, the statement dress underwent many makeovers this season. Designers like Danielle Frankel took a minimal approach while Valentino went maximal with ample tulle and feathers. 

The beauty of the bow is its versatility. Playful and sophisticated, the detail can be applied any which way in scales both big and small. A sculptural back bow adds contemporary elegance while multiple smaller ones bring a touch of whimsy.

2023 is the year of the rosette, but the embellishment is anything but new. Originating in the 17th-century, the textural style popped up here nor there for decades, but its recent reinvention is nothing like those in years past. Spring/Summer 2023 bridal collections showed intricate rosette cascades, full floral bodices, and everything in between. Whether your style is soft and feminine or errs on the side of edgy, the rosette is the perfect addition to any wedding gown.
